This beautiful book, based on original notebook and recipe journal of a
1900s baroness, takes readers on a journey through fin de siècle
Viennese high society. With over 100 original recipes, all of which have
been tested and brought up to date for the modern cook, it is not only a
wonderful collection of recipes but also a fascinating look at the life
of a Viennese family. Filled with anecdotes and personal stories to
bring the recipes to life, this book is a charming insight into a bygone
era. The classic recipes cover a variety of dishes both savory and
sweet, with a strong emphasis on the desserts and pastries for which
Vienna is famed. Enchanting photographs of Vienna grace the book,
capturing the architecture, café culture, and beauty of this elegant
city.
